Pros

Good entry-level company to get experience but I wouldn't recommend staying too long as it's not a company to grow with

Cons

Hard to get days off or even call in sick, little vacation, and not a great work culture/environment. Male-dominated and hard work

Pros

Benefits and insurance are pretty good.

Cons

Be prepared to be run over by bus tires. Upper management loves to blame the young people they’re supposed to be teaching and guiding. Not a good place.

Pros

Was a good company work for

Cons

Has alarming changes for who is considering PCL. It had good name for long time. And now it starts getting rid of the people who work for them long time, because pay them "too much" in shares. But they ignore the fact, those people have to stand very low salary (20-30% less) and next to zero dividend for years (3-5 years), before they get even by dividend. And once you finally caught up and think you have some good years down the road, now you are on the black list to be get rid of . Think twice before apply.
